This news item shows extracts from the debate on EU strategy in response to the ongoing Middle East crisis and its implications on energy prices. MEPs, the Council and the Commission discuss how to respond to the ongoing Middle East crisis and its implications for energy prices. With developments in Iran and the wider region threatening regional and global security, the EU is advocating de-escalation and peace, as well as freedom of navigation. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, highlights the severe economic impact of the war, increasing by €27 billion in just 60 days of conflict the fossil fuel import costs with no additional energy gained and boosts renewable and nuclear energy production. MEPs propose solutions and measures to control energy prices, ranging from promoting the European Grids Package to introducing a European tax on oil companies’ windfall profits.

This video presents extracts from the debate and the vote, calling the Commission to table legislation establishing a common definition of rape based on the absence of freely given, informed and revocable consent. The report prepared by the Civil Liberties and Women’s Rights committees builds on Parliament’s long-standing position that the absence of consent must be the central element in court proceedings for rape, calling for legislation complementary to the 2024 EU directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence. The text also advocates for alignment with international standards and stronger victim support across member states, including access to justice, specialised services and healthcare. It also reiterates calls to add gender-based violence to the list of EU crimes under Article 83(1) TFEU, and to address digital violence and harmful stereotypes.
