Each Member State independently decides on its own energy mix and use of nuclear energy. However, there are common rules and standards on nuclear energy, the basis for which is the Treaty on the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom Treaty) signed in 1957. All current EU Member States are party to it and it has remained largely unchanged throughout the years.

Euroopa Liit teeb tööd maailma esimeste tehisintellektireeglite kallal. Euroopa Parlament tahab selles valdkonnas innovatsiooni edendada, aga kaitsta samal ajal ka inimõigusi ja põhivabadusi. Uue määrusega tahetakse keelustada tehisintellektisüsteemid, millega kaasneb liigne oht inimeste turvalisusele, ning kehtestada reeglid ka teistele süsteemidele.

Ühtne turg on üks Euroopa integratsiooni olulisemaid saavutusi ja üks selle peamistest tõukejõududest. 1993. aasta 1. jaanuaril loodud ühtne turg võimaldab Euroopa Liidus kaupade, teenuste, inimeste ja kapitali vaba liikumist. Alates selle loomisest on ühtne turg soodustanud kaubavahetust ja suurendanud ELi tähtsust ülemaailmse kaubanduspartnerina. See muudab kodanike elu lihtsamaks ning suurendab majanduskasvu ja konkurentsi, sest loob uusi võimalusi Euroopa ettevõtjatele.

The European Commission proposes new measures for a high level of public sector interoperability across the Union (the interoperable Europe act). The initiative seeks to ensure a consistent, human-centric EU approach to interoperability, create an interoperability governance structure that helps public administrations and the private sector to work together, and establish an ecosystem of interoperability solutions for the EU's public sector. It should also cut red tape for citizens and businesses.

Nowadays, a wide range of key technologies across all industries, from chips to batteries, medical imaging to tanks, rely on the unique physical properties of some specific critical raw materials (CRMs). Demand for CRMs is projected to skyrocket in the coming years. However, as the transition to 'net-zero' and the digital age is particularly materials-intensive, it remains uncertain whether supply will keep up with the expected needs. The EU's ambition to become a climate-neutral economy by 2050, and its ability to sustain the green and digital transitions and achieve strategic autonomy, all rely heavily on reliable, secure and resilient access to CRMs.

Euroopa Komisjoni muudetud Euroopa Liidu ravimipakett läks käiku 2023. aasta esimeses kvartalis. Tuvastatud puuduste hulgas on Euroopa Liidu tervishoiualase teadus- ja arendustegevuse killustatus, läbipaistmatus ning lõhe avaliku sektori investeeringute ja kliiniliste tulemuste vahel. Võimalikud lahendused hõlmavad ulatusliku Euroopa biomeditsiinilise taristu loomist ja mitmeid sihipäraseid strateegiaid, et parandada Euroopa Liidu tervishoiualaste teadusuuringute koordineerimist ja seada taas esikohale täitmata ravivajadustega tervishoiuvaldkonnad.

The European Parliament elects the President of the European Commission. First opportunity is the July II session (15-18 July).

The Europeans want the EU to change. This is why the European Parliament is taking the leadership over a reform of the EU.

MEPs suggested, among other things: turning the Council of Ministers into a genuine second legislative chamber, and its configurations into preparatory bodies similar to Parliament’s committees, appointing an EU finance minister and giving the EU Commission the power to formulate and give effect to a common EU economic policy, backed up by a euro-area budget, and creating a fiscal capacity consisting of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and specific additional budgetary capacity for the euro area, funded by its members as a part of the EU budget.

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.
