Es ist Zeit, wählen zu gehen! Vom 6. bis zum 9. Juni haben dieses Jahr Millionen von EU-Bürgerinnen und EU-Bürgern die Gelegenheit, bei der Europawahl ihre Stimme abzugeben und damit die Zukunft der Europäischen Union mitzugestalten. Das Europäische Parlament ist das einzige direkt gewählte EU-Organ, und die Europawahl ist eine der weltweit größten Übungen in Demokratie. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, wie die Sitze im Parlament auf die einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten verteilt sind.

Die Europawahl – kurz erklärt: Wie sind die Sitze aufgeteilt?

International law imposes an obligation to render assistance to persons and ships in distress at sea, which must be provided regardless of the persons' nationality or status or the circumstances in which they are found. Nevertheless, over the last couple of years, the Mediterranean Sea has been the backdrop for the largest number of casualties and missing people. One solution, proposed by academics, could be the harmonisation of the fragmented legal regime for maritime interceptions.

Arbeiten Sie in der Fischerei- oder Aquakulturbranche oder in der Fischverarbeitung? Dann macht die Coronakrise sicherlich auch Ihnen zu schaffen.

„Hunderttausend Höllenhunde!“, so würde ein wohlbekannter Kapitän nun sagen: Das Leben der Seeleute ist mühsam und manchmal sogar gefährlich. Deshalb tut Europa drei Dinge für sie:

Das tut Europa für Seeleute

<p>The EU first unified the summer-time arrangements in 1980, in order to ensure a harmonised approach to time switching within the single market, as until then, national summer-time practices and schedules were diverging. The current summer-time arrangements directive requires Member States to switch to summer-time on the last Sunday of March and back to standard time (informally known as winter-time) on the last Sunday of October. MEPs voted to end the practice of adjusting clocks by an hour in spring and autumn from 2021 on 26/03/2019</p>

<p>The system of bi-annual clock changes has been increasingly questioned, by citizens, by the European Parliament, and by a growing number of Member States. The Commission has, therefore, analysed available evidence, which points to the importance of having harmonised rules in this area to ensure a proper functioning of the internal market. This is also supported by the European Parliament as well as other actors. In February 2020, the TRAN Committee designated Johan Danielsson (S&D, Sweden) as rapporteur.</p>

MAKING OF: German premiere of the 3rd season of "Parliament" at the European House

Once again, the camera follows the adventures of French assistant Samy, who is already an old hand after several years in the European Parliament, during which he has worked and suffered for various MEPs. He climbs the career ladder, becoming a political advisor at the beginning of the third season. However, he is mistaken in his assumption that he is now fully versed in politics. After two seasons set exclusively in the Parliament, the setting of the series has now been extended to the European Commission. The French position in the College of Commissioners is up for grabs and Samy's former boss, MEP Valentine, throws her hat into the ring. For Samy, this could mean a position in the cabinet of an EU Commissioner - a great career in Brussels. After the first two seasons of the series allowed the audience to experience how daily life and work processes work in the European Parliament, they can now get to know the workings of the largest EU institution better.

The European Parliament has acted to protect and promote the EU's regional crafts and industries.   
   
The Geographical Indications system already provides a seal of quality for some of the EU’s best-known food and drink products.    
   
Now, it will be extended to industries like textiles, jewellery, glass, porcelain and cutlery.   
   
The new framework will benefit smaller businesses, boost jobs and tourism and help fight counterfeiting.

Following Russia’s unilateral decision in July to terminate the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which allowed agricultural products to be exported from Ukrainian ports, transit through the Solidarity Lanes established in states bordering Ukraine is expected to increase significantly (from three to five million tonnes of commodities per month). Almost all of the exported commodities via these corridors remain on the EU market due to the high transport costs for re-export. MEPs debate with the Commission the impact of Ukrainian grain exports on EU farmers after Russia’s withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative. Closing statement by Janusz WOJCIECHOWSKI, European Commissioner for Agriculture.
