MEPs assess recent and proposed EU measures to protect European households and businesses from rising prices during the coming winter. Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the disruption of Russian gas supplies has led to skyrocketing electricity prices and market volatility, leading the Commission and member states to consider new policy options such as capping prices or decoupling of gas and electricity prices.

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.

A new “right to repair” must encompass long-lasting products that can be fixed, labelling to better inform consumers and extending guarantee rights. The draft text stresses that an effective right to repair should address a product’s lifecycle and take into account product design, ethical production, standardisation, labelling on reparability and on the expected lifespan of a product. Closing statement by Věra JOUROVÁ, Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of Values and Transparency.

77 % der Menschen in Europa würden ihre kaputten Haushaltsgeräte lieber reparieren lassen als sie zu ersetzen. Das Parlament drängt auf das „Recht auf Reparatur“ in der EU, das Hersteller dazu motivieren soll, VerbraucherInnen die Reparatur von Geräten zu vereinfachen, anstatt neue zu kaufen.

Recht auf Reparatur: ein neues Leben für Konsumgüter

Das Parlament befasst sich mit der Notlage in der Ukraine, mehr als einem Monat nach dem illegalen, nicht provozierten Einmarsch Russlands. Die Abgeordneten stimmen über eine Aktualisierung der Verordnung über transeuropäische Energienetze ab, die den Weg zu einer modernen, unabhängigen, umweltfreundlichen Energieinfrastruktur ebnen wird. Zudem stehen Frauen- und Mädchenrechte in Afghanistan, das „Recht auf Reparatur“ von Konsumgütern und die Regulierung der Nutzung von „Big Data“ auf der Tagesordnung. All das und mehr demnächst in Straßburg.

Demnächst in Straßburg: Ukraine, Energie, Frauen in Afghanistan

Unser Leben wird von digitalem und Online-Datenaustausch dominiert. Ob für Geschäfte oder Freizeit, Kaufen oder Verkaufen, um auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben oder einfach zu kommunizieren — digitale Märkte und Dienstleistungen sind in alle Bereiche unseres Lebens vorgedrungen. Wer behält jedoch die Plattformen und Unternehmen, die all dies ermöglichen, im Auge? Sind unsere personenbezogenen Daten sicher? Wie lässt sich eine bessere Verordnung durchsetzen? Dies sind nur einige der Fragen, die zwei wesentliche Gesetze beantworten werden: Das Gesetz über digitale Märkte und das Gesetz über digitale Dienste.

Die digitale Welt: „Wir übernehmen wieder die Kontrolle“
