In the European Union, democracy may seem obvious to us today. But this has not always been the case. Not so long ago, millions of Europeans lived through times when they could not vote or even speak up freely. When their very lives could be in danger simply for being different, for holding different beliefs or for wanting a different life. Democracy is a precious gift passed on to us from previous generations. They aspired towards it and fought for it. Now it is up to us to maintain it, to make it stronger and pass it on to the generations to come. The most effective way to do so is by voting - because the more people vote, the stronger democracy becomes. On June 6-9 2024: Use your vote or others will decide for you.

The European Parliament has repeatedly advocated press freedom and media pluralism in the EU and abroad.&nbsp; World Press Freedom Day was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in December 1993, following the recommendation of UNESCO's General Conference. Since then, 3 May, the anniversary of the&nbsp;Declaration of Windhoek&nbsp;is celebrated worldwide as World Press Freedom Day.

Already in 2018 the EP adopted a resolution on media pluralism and media freedom in the EU, noting the political developments in various members states, that have led to increased pressures on and threats against journalists.&nbsp; The European Parliament has also&nbsp;launched the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism.&nbsp;

The prize commends outstanding journalism revolving around the principles and values of the European Union. On the field of legislation, Parliament wants to reinforce protection of journalists and activists in the EU against unfounded and abusive lawsuits aimed to silence them.&nbsp;

MEPs also gave their final green light to new legislation to protect EU journalists and media from political or economic interference during the March Plenary session.

Under the new law, adopted by 464 votes in favour to 92 against and 65 abstentions, member states will be obliged to protect media independence and all forms of interventions in editorial decisions will be banned.

Plenary debate- Outcome of European Council meeting

MEPs debate on Monday evening and vote on Tuesday on the provisional agreement reached with member states on the so-called “right to repair” for consumers, which aims to promote the repair of goods within and beyond the legal guarantee period. Beyond the legal guarantee, consumers will have a new right to claim repair for products that are technically repairable under EU law (e.g. washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and smartphones). To encourage repair and to revitalise the EU repair market, the rules put in place a European online platform to find local repair shops or sellers of refurbished goods. They also allow access to spare parts, tools, and maintenance information, and ban the use of hardware and software practices that obstruct repairs.

With war having returned to the European continent, measuring the level of threats to peace, security and democracy around the world – as the 'Normandy Index' does – is more important than ever. The annual Index was presented for the first time at the Normandy Peace Forum in June 2019, as a result of a partnership between the European Parliament and the Region of Normandy. The Index has been designed and prepared by the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), in conjunction with and on the basis of data provided by the Institute for Economics and Peace. This paper sets out the findings of the 2023 exercise, which draws on data compiled in 2022, and explains how the Index can be used to compare peace – defined on the basis of a given country's performance against a range of predetermined threats – across countries and regions. It is complemented by 61 individual country case studies, derived from the Index. The paper forms part of the EPRS contribution to the 2023 Normandy World Peace Foru

Find out about the economic inequalities that continue to persist between women and men in the EU.

It has been more than 25 years since the adoption of the UN’s Beijing Declaration, which aims to promote equality between men and women. The same goal lies behind the creation of UN Women - dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women - and the inclusion of gender equality in the Sustainable Development Goals.

So where do we stand? Progress has been made, but inequality between men and women persists, including on the labour market. On average, women in the EU are paid less than men.

Every year 2.2 billion tonnes of waste are generated in the EU. More than a quarter of it (27%) is municipal waste: everyday waste collected and treated by municipalities, which is mainly generated by households. Data shows that the amount of waste and the way it is managed varies a lot across EU countries, but there has been a shift to more recycling and less landfilling.

To reduce waste and its impact on the environment, the EU has adopted ambitious targets on recycling and landfill and is working on packaging waste. The goal is to promote the shift towards a more sustainable model known as the circular economy.

Har du nogensinde haft lyst til at trække dig fra en diskussion, fordi tonen var for aggressiv, og din mening virkede at gå tabt mellem ekstreme udsagn?

Dette er, hvad der normalt sker, når de mest ekstreme synspunkter bliver kunstigt boostet.

Ved at polarisere debatten ønsker folk, der spreder desinformation, at få os til at tro, at forskellene mellem os er meget større, end de i virkeligheden er, hvilket kan gøre det svært at indgå kompromiser og nå frem til løsninger.

Forskere og ngo'er over hele Europa undersøger måder, hvorpå man kan gøre samfund mere modstandsdygtige over for kriser og over for udenlandske aktører, der forsøger at blande sig i vores demokratiske processer.  

To af disse forskere er Julia fra Clingendael Institute for International Relations i Holland og Katarina fra Center for Democracy & Resilience ved GLOBSEC Policy Institute i Slovakiet. De har specialiseret sig i staterne i det vestlige Balkan og EU-medlemslande som Ukraine.

Hvordan kan EU reformere sin økonomiske model til gavn for forbrugerne og planeten? Aimilios i Belgien og Laetitia i Frankrig har (en del af) svaret!

Aimilios og hans team hos Watt4Ever genanvender brugte batterier fra elbiler i nye energilagringssystemer, der effektivt giver batterierne et nyt liv og sparer værdifulde råmaterialer og energi, samtidigt med at man undgår yderligere forurening.

Laetitia og "Halte à l'Obsolescence Programmée", eller HOP ("stop planlagt forældelse"), fører kampagne for, at hverdagsprodukter kan holde længere og kan repareres mere.

Europa-Parlamentet bakker op om EU-dækkende foranstaltninger, der skal fremme en cirkulær økonomi, retten til reparation og bedre genanvendelse af råmaterialer for at undgå at forurene planeten og til gavn for din pengepung.

EU-programmer som Horisont Europa samt fonde for udvikling af landdistrikter og regioner sikrer, at sådanne projekter får de ressourcer, de har brug for.
