Award Ceremony of the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism 2022: Announcement of 2022 winner - Clément Di Roma and Carol Valade for their documentary “The Central African Republic under Russian influence”

Parliament awards the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for outstanding journalism work based on the principles and values of the EU. This year, the prize rewards Carol VALDE and Clement DI ROMA, journalists and co-authers of "Centrafrique : le soft power russe", produced for ARTE/Decoupages. It shows how Russia, through soft power methods (cinema and food) but also through the Wagner society, a mercenaries secret army, spreads its influence in Central African Republic. Carol VALADE explains how difficult it was to work in that context and what it means to him to receive that prize.

This infoclip shows the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure with electric cars, electric and hybrid public transport, hydrogen train and hydrogen refuel stations for trucks . On 14 July 2021, the European Commission presented a package of proposals to equip the EU's climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation policies to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030, compared with 1990 levels – the 'fit for 55' package. The package includes a proposal to revise the 2014 directive on alternative fuels infrastructure and turn it into a regulation.

Infoclip: Deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure

On 9 December 2020, the European Commission put forward the Sustainable and smart mobility strategy to transform the EU transport system in line with the European Green Deal and the EU's Digital Strategy. The Commission pledges to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels by replacing existing fleets with low- and zero- emission vehicles and increasing the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels. Second, to increase the use of the less polluting modes and shift a substantial part of today’s inland freight carried by road (75%) onto rail and inland waterways.In Parliament, the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) is preparing an own-initiative report on the strategy, under the lead of Ismail Ertug (S&D, Germany). The footage shows congested roads, road transport, e-cars, e-buses, hydrogen trucks, high-speed train, cargo train, hydrogen train, inland waterways transport, conventional airplanes and animation of future hybrid-hydrogen airplanes.

MEPs vote on the Emissions Trading System reform, the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and a new Social Climate fund to combat climate change. Following a plenary debate on 7 June 2022, and the rejection of the report on the revision of the EU Emissions Trading System on 8 June 2022 at the Plenary session in Strasbourg, MEPs vote again on 22nd June on three draft laws, part of the Fit For 55 in 2030 package. This is the EU’s plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and have net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (climate neutrality) by 2050, in line with the European Climate Law.

MEPs vote on three draft laws that are part of the “Fit For 55” package - the Revision of the Emissions Trading System (ETS), the Social Climate Fund and the Carbon Border Adjustment Fund - following their postponement during the previous session.

MEPs debate and vote on key EU draft laws to combat climate change by drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to protect jobs and citizens. Parliament is set to adopt its position on eight proposals that are part of the “Fit for 55 in 2030 package”. This is the EU’s plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and have net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (climate neutrality) by 2050, in line with the European Climate Law. The texts approved will be Parliament’s mandate for negotiations with EU governments on the final laws. Statement by statement by Mohammed CHAHIM (S&D, NL), rapporteur on the Carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) report.

This infoclip aims to illustrate the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. As part of the 'Fit for 55' package, the proposal intends to ensure that the EU's climate objectives are not undermined by the relocation of carbon-intensive production outside the EU.The EU now seeks to phase out free allocations, and a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) would be introduced, requiring importers to purchase certificates equivalent to the weekly EU carbon price. The CBAM would initially apply to imports in five emissions-intensive sectors: cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, and electricity. The EP rapporteur Mohammed CHAHIM (S&D, NL) would like to extend the mechanism to cover organic chemicals, hydrogen and polymers. The footage shows cement, iron and steel, fertilizers, electricity, organic chemicals, hydrogen, polymers and the European Energy Exchange in Germany.

Europas CO2-lagre er i tilbagegang. For at bidrage til at nå EU's mål om CO2-neutralitet i 2050 er Europa-Parlamentet ved at ændre reglerne for jordbrug, således at landbrugsjord, såvel som skove, heder og vådområder kan binde mere CO2 og bidrage til at reducere den globale opvarmning.

William a crescut în Franța și s-a mutat în Statele Unite când avea 10 ani. Acolo a învățat engleza și și-a continuat studiile. Acum îl regăsim în Europa, unde ne povestește despre modul în care cunoștințele sale de limbi străine l-au ajutat în viață. Să-l urmărim pe William, care ne spune povestea lui.

„Învățarea unei limbi e ca mersul pe bicicletă”, ne spune Elsa-María. „După ce înveți cum să o faci, nu uiți niciodată.” Născută într-o familie germano-spaniolă, ne spune că a crescut „într-un spirit internațional”, care este și sursa pasiunii ei profunde pentru limbi. Să o urmărim pe Elsa-María, care ne spune povestea ei.

The Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize aims at distinguishing outstanding journalism revolving around the principles and values of the European Union (EU). It should be awarded to in-depth journalistic items on topics of interest linked to the values enshrined in the European Charter of Human Rights undertaken by professional journalists or teams of journalists of any nationality. Matthew Caruana Galizia expresses about the prize named after his mother, a Maltese anti-corruption investigative journalist and blogger who was killed in a car bomb attack and calls EU to fight more actively against corruption. On 3rd May 2022, Roberta METSOLA, EP President, opened the plenary with a statement about World Press Freedom Day.

This infoclip illustrates the delivery of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in Europe, to Gate (Gas Access to Europe) terminal in the port of Rotterdam, Netherlands on 12/05/2022. Gate terminal is a gateway for LNG from across the world. The import terminal on Maasvlakte in Rotterdam contributes to the natural gas supply in the Netherlands and Northwest Europe. The terminal receives LNG, stores it, regasifies it and then supplies it to the gas transport network for distribution to households and industry. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a clear, colourless liquid created when natural gas is cooled to -162°C. In liquid form, LNG occupies approximately 600 times less volume than standard natural gas, which enables it to be stored and transported very efficiently. LNG is an alternative to gas transport via pipelines, particularly for transportation over long distances. LNG is also used as fuel for vessels and lorries, as a replacement for diesel and heavy fuel oil.

The EU has implemented the world’s largest carbon-pricing system, the emissions trading system (ETS). While pricing emissions can encourage industrial decarbonisation, it also risks carbon leakage, whereby EU companies move their production abroad. To date, the EU has mitigated carbon leakage through free allocations to certain industries, but with rising climate ambition and higher carbon prices, the Commission seeks to phase out free allocations. In parallel, a novel carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) would be introduced, requiring EU importers, as of 2026, to purchase certificates equivalent to the weekly EU carbon price. During the transition period, starting in 2023, importers would be required to report emissions, with a system of monitoring, reporting and verification ensuring accurate reporting of carbon footprints.
