EU - Estonia

Jüri RATAS, Estonian Prime Minister, is the tenth EU leader to debate the future of Europe with MEPs and Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the EC, on Wednesday morning.

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

Parliament set out its vision for the future of Europe in three resolutions voted in plenary session on 16 February 2017. MEPs suggested, among other things:

<ul>
	<li>turning the Council of Ministers into a genuine second legislative chamber, and its configurations into preparatory bodies similar to Parliament’s committees,</li>
	<li>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</li>
	<li>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.</li>
</ul>

Born European - 20th anniversary of the 2004 Enlargement of the European Union – Estonia

&lt;p>Euroopa Liidus võib demokraatia tunduda iseenesestmõistetav. Kuid see ei ole alati nii olnud. Mitte kuigi ammu ei olnud miljonitel eurooplastel õigust hääletada ega vabalt arvamust avaldada. Ainuüksi teistest erinemine, teisiti mõtlemine või teistsugune eluviis võis nende elu ohtu seada. Demokraatia on väärt kingitus, mille on meile pärandanud eelnevad põlvkonnad. Nemad püüdlesid demokraatia poole ja võitlesid selle eest. Nüüd on meie ülesanne demokraatiat hoida, tugevdada ja see järgmistele põlvkondadele edasi anda. Selleks on vaja minna valima, sest mida rohkem inimesi valimistel osaleb, seda tugevam on demokraatia. 6.–9. juunil 2024 anna oma hääl või sinu eest otsustavad teised.&lt;/p>&lt;p>© ANDCO A/S, 2024.

Clip: Born European - 20th Anniversary of the 2004 EU Enlargement

How does Europe affect our everyday lives? How does it impact on our jobs, our families, our health care, our journeys and our consumer choices? And how is Europe present in our towns, cities and regions? As European citizens, no matter where we live, how we make our living, or how we spend our time, the EU has an impact on our daily lives. The website 'What Europe does for me' presents a wide range of short, easy-to-read texts drawn up by the European Parliamentary Research Service, focusing on what the European Union does and the impact it has on us all. It explores EU actions from the individual’s point of view, with many examples of projects and support.

Global challenges – including climate change, geopolitical conflict, erosion of democratic principles and social inequalities – affect people's daily lives and future prospects.A collective European response over the next 10 years could help to address these challenges – and offer benefits worth up to €3 trillion a year. This represents around 18 % of EU gross domestic product (GDP), equivalent to €6 700 per citizen per year. Referring to the European Parliament's work during the 2019-2024 term, our research has identified action in 10 policy areas that could unleash Europe's potential – without the need for Treaty change.

This infoclip shows the construction works for the new tram line in Tallinn (Estonia) running along a stretch of about 2.5 kilometers, starting at the intersection of Kivisilla and Gonsiori Streets and extending to Põhja Puiestee. The aim of the works is to improve the comfort of public transport, connecting Tallinn's main transport hubs and making transfers as easy as possible. The Vanasadama tram line construction works, including VAT and owner’s supervision, cost about €46 million, with €36.5 million from the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
