Evropa zažívá nebývalou demografickou změnu. Do roku 2050 bude necelé třetině obyvatel Evropské unie 65 let či více. Stárnutí evropského obyvatelstva bude mít dalekosáhlé následky například na zdravotní péči, sociální zabezpečení, trh práce a ekonomiku. Unijní politiky pro starší osoby se zaměřují na několik klíčových oblastí, kterými jsou aktivní stárnutí, začlenění do společnosti, zdravotní a dlouhodobá péče a finanční zabezpečení. To, co teď Evropská unie potřebuje, je komplexní strategie pro stárnoucí generace.

The need for accountability and increased scrutiny of the European Council has been a constant theme in the European Parliament's resolutions throughout the 2019-2024 legislative term. The increased need to scrutinise the European Council also results from the changing role of the institution over recent years. In this podcast, we analyse the need for democratic oversight of the European Council and outline the different tools at Parliament's disposal to do so. We also look at the content of Parliament's resolutions addressing the European Council and the messages it sends to the EU leaders.

Following a debate with Ursula von der Leyen on her new team and programme, MEPs elected the College of Commissioners as a whole by roll-call vote. 370 MEPs voted in favour, 282 against, and 36 abstained.&nbsp;

To be confirmed, the College of Commissioners needed a majority of the votes cast (rule 129.7 of the EP Rules of Procedure).

This will be Ursula von der Leyen’s second term as Commission President, following the approval of her&nbsp;first Commission by MEPs in November 2019.

Ahead of the vote, Ursula von der Leyen presented&nbsp;her team and programme, wherein she confirmed the portfolio changes requested by MEPs&nbsp;in the course of Parliament’s evaluation&nbsp;process. “We are ready to get to work immediately,” she said, stressing that her Commission will always be devoted to fighting for freedom, sovereignty, security and prosperity.

After its formal appointment by the European Council via a qualified majority, the new European Commission is expected to take up its duties on 1 December 2024.

European Central Bank - annual report

Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to Europe and the world. Therefore in December 2019 the Commission presented a communication on a European Green Deal that sets out a detailed vision to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, safeguard biodiversity, establish a circular economy and eliminate pollution, while boosting the competitiveness of European industry and ensuring a just transition for the regions and workers affected.

Parliament has played an important role in pushing for more ambitious EU climate legislation and declared a climate emergency on 28 November 2019.&nbsp; The European Climate Law writes&nbsp;into law the goal to become climate neutral by 2050 and attain the intermediate target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 (compared to 1990 levels).&nbsp;After 2050 the EU will aim for negative emissions. In July&nbsp;2021 the European Commission presented its “Fit for 55 in 2030” package-the legislative tool to deliver on the targets agreed in the European Climate law.

The EP adopted the new Nature restoration law during its February plenary. The new law sets a target for the EU to restore at least 20% of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030 and all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050. The EU nature restoration law, agreed with member states, will restore degraded ecosystems in all member states, help achieve the EU’s climate and biodiversity objectives and enhance food security.

To reach the overall EU targets, member states must restore at least 30% of habitats covered by the new law (from forests, grasslands and wetlands to rivers, lakes and coral beds) from a poor to a good condition by 2030, increasing to 60% by 2040, and 90% by 2050. In line with Parliament’s position, EU countries should give priority to&nbsp;Natura 2000 areas&nbsp;until 2030. Once in a good condition, EU countries shall ensure an area does not significantly deteriorate. Member states will also have to adopt national restoration plans detailing how they intend to achieve these targets.

European Green Deal

As co-legislator, Parliament has long been supportive of EU biodiversity protection and climate change policies.

The EU has played an important international role in seeking solutions to biodiversity loss, deforestation and climate change. The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change notes the importance of ensuring the integrity of all ecosystems and the protection of biodiversity. As part of the European Green Deal, the Commission has proposed a new biodiversity strategy that aims to put Europe’s biodiversity on the path to recovery by 2030, for the benefit of people, the climate and the planet.

Biodiversity Strategy 2030

The problem of disinformation is globally recognised as disruptive to the normal functioning of democratic societies, economies and political systems. In recent years, ‘fake news’ and coordinated disinformation campaigns have an instrument of geopolitical influence.

They have afflicted elections in both established and new democracies, and undermined social and political solidarity in response to global challenges. It is with these and other instances in mind that the European Union (EU) identified ‘the exposure of citizens to large scale disinformation’ as ‘a major challenge for Europe’ in 2018, undertaking an increasingly ambitious programme of action to counter this evolving threat since. The outbreak of the coronavirus has led to disinformation that hampers efforts to contain the pandemic.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said false claims “are spreading faster than the virus” and has already termed it an “infodemic of planetary proportions”. The Russian aggression against Ukraine is also a source of many disinformation.&nbsp;

Special Committee for foreign interference in all democratic processes in the EU, including disinformation (INGE) was created in the European Parliament to tackle these challenges

Fight against disinformation

The presidency of the Council rotates among the EU member states every six months. During this six-month period, the presidency chairs meetings at every level in the Council, helping to ensure the continuity of the EU's work in the Council.

Ever since Russia launched an illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24&nbsp;February 2022, the EU and the Parliament have supported the country by condemning Russia’s aggression, sanctioning those responsible and providing financial and material aid. Parliament has also been supportive of Ukraine’s efforts to become an EU candidate country and has been calling on EU countries to launch accession talks.

The European Parliament President Roberta Metsola was in Kyiv on 1 April 2022 to express the European Union´s support to the Ukrainian people and to condemn the unjustified Russian attack.&nbsp; On 9 February 2023, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the European Parliament during an extraordinary plenary session in Brussels.

The&nbsp; new EP reconfirmed in July 2024&nbsp; its view that the EU must continue to support Kyiv for as long as it takes until victory. The resolution, which sets out the newly-elected European Parliament’s first official position on Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, restates the continued support of MEPs for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. It calls on the EU to maintain and extend its sanctions policy against Russia and Belarus, monitor and review its effectiveness and impact, and systematically tackle the issue of sanctions circumvention by EU-based companies, third parties, and third countries.

Parliament held also and&nbsp;extraordinary plenary session on 19th November 2024 with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, marking 1000 days since Russia’s full-scale invasion.

V roce 2015 německá kancléřka Angela Merkelová a francouzský prezident François Hollande vyzvali evropské státy, aby sdíleli odpovědnost za přijímání žadatelů o azyl. Evropská unie se ten rok potýkala s nevídanou migrační vlnou, kdy stovky tisíc lidí nelegálně přešlo hranici EU, přičemž mnoho z nich utíkalo před válkou v Sýrii. Většina z nich zamířila do Německa a do několika jiných zemí. Během společného projevu v Evropském parlamentu, který se zapsal do historie, vyzvali Merkelová a Hollande ke společnému postupu při řešení klíčových příčin krize. *Celý projev si můžete prohlédnout na multimediálním kanálu Evropského parlamentu: http://epfacebook.eu/SpeechMerkelHollande

Je navržen tak, aby ukazoval, jaké zájmy na úrovni EU tyto skupiny a organizace zastupují a čím jménem, jakož i finanční a lidské zdroje věnované těmto činnostem.

Měli jste někdy pocit, že se raději vyhnete diskusi, protože tón byl příliš agresivní a váš názor by se ztrácel mezi extrémními výroky?

Jak může EU reformovat svůj hospodářský model, aby byl prospěšný spotřebitelům a planetě? Aimilios v Belgii a Laetitia ve Francii mají (částečné) odpovědi!

Aimilios a jeho tým Watt4Ever obnovují staré baterie z elektromobilů a vyrábějí z nich nové systémy pro ukládání energie, čímž bateriím v podstatě dávají druhý život, šetří cenné suroviny a energii a zároveň zabraňují dalšímu znečišťování životního prostředí.

Laetitia a „Halte à l'Obsolescence Programmée“ neboli HOP („Zastavení plánovaného zastarávání“), kampaň za delší životnost a lepší opravitelnost výrobků každodenní potřeby.

Evropský parlament podporuje celoevropská opatření na podporu cirkulární ekonomiky, práva na opravu a lepší recyklaci surovin, aby se předešlo znečišťování planety a prospělo vaší peněžence.

Programy EU, jako je Horizon Europe a fondy pro rozvoj venkova a regionů, zajišťují, že tyto projekty dostanou potřebné prostředky.
