L'Unione europea è una delle regioni più boscose al mondo: circa il 40 % della sua superficie è infatti coperta da alberi. Le foreste sono fondamentali per la salute e il benessere non solo degli esseri umani, ma anche dell'intero pianeta. Ricche di biodiversità, svolgono un ruolo decisivo nella lotta contro il cambiamento climatico. L'UE sa bene quanto siano importanti per il nostro futuro. Ecco perché, nel 2021, ha adottato la nuova strategia per le foreste per il 2030.

The European Parliament released on 6 of December its Parlemeter 2023 survey showing citizens’ continued support for the EU and a higher interest in the upcoming European elections. Over seven in ten citizens believe their country has benefited from being a member of the EU.

The main reasons cited by this survey’s respondents are the EU’s contribution to maintaining peace and strengthening security (34%) and the improved co-operation between countries of the Union (34%). Likewise, the image of the EU has remained stable since March 2023, with 45% of EU citizens having a positive image of the bloc, 38% have a neutral image and 16% have a negative image.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, commenting on the results of the survey, said: “This Eurobarometer shows that Europe matters. In this difficult geopolitical and socio-economic context, citizens trust the European Union to find solutions. A vast majority of Europeans believe that EU actions have had a positive impact on their daily lives.” Far from the notion of being distant from people’s everyday life, 70% of EU citizens believe that EU actions do have an impact on their daily life. More than one third of EU citizens see the fight against poverty and social exclusion (36%) and public health (34%) as the main topics for the European Parliament to prioritise.

Action against climate change as well as support to the economy and creation of new jobs (both 29%) follow closely while migration and asylum (18%), currently on ninth position, has increased by seven percentage points since autumn last year. Eurobarometer surveys are the official polling instrument used by the European Parliament, the European Commission and other EU institutions and agencies to regularly monitor the state of public opinion in Europe on issues related to the European Union, as well as attitudes on subjects of political or social nature.

The Eurobarometer provides quality and relevant data for experts in public opinion, researchers, media and the public. The Eurobarometer project was initiated in 1974 by the European Commission as a means to “reveal Europeans to themselves”. Since then, it has evolved and expanded significantly with different survey tools. In 2007, the European Parliament started its own regular series of Eurobarometer surveys, focussing on topics specific to the European Parliament, including the European elections.

Parliament quizes the Council and the Commission about how they intend to address the controversial reform proposals made by Robert Fico’s government. 

MEPs are expected to reiterate concerns about the Slovak government’s plans for criminal code reform and changes in the functioning of the country’s public-service media. MEPs say the ongoing reform, which led to the dissolution of Slovakia’s Special Prosecutor’s Office on 20 March and reduces penalties and limitation periods for financial crimes, threatens Slovakia’s ability to fight corruption and protect the EU budget. They are also likely to stress that the plans for the public broadcaster will have to be assessed in light of the EU’s recently-adopted Media Freedom Act. The proposed Act on Slovak Television and Radio is facing widespread criticism for giving the government direct control over public media, and curtailing their independence.

Last January, MEPs asked the European Council to determine whether Hungary has committed “serious and persistent breaches of EU values” under the more direct Article 7(2) procedure.

MEPs are likely to raise the upcoming Hungarian Presidency of the Council of EU (in the second half of 2024), Hungary’s repeated abuse of the right of veto and blackmail in the European Council, and the Commission’s launch of an infringement procedure concerning the country’s “sovereignty law”.

With war having returned to the European continent, measuring the level of threats to peace, security and democracy around the world – as the 'Normandy Index' does – is more important than ever. The annual Index was presented for the first time at the Normandy Peace Forum in June 2019, as a result of a partnership between the European Parliament and the Region of Normandy. The Index has been designed and prepared by the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), in conjunction with and on the basis of data provided by the Institute for Economics and Peace. This paper sets out the findings of the 2023 exercise, which draws on data compiled in 2022, and explains how the Index can be used to compare peace – defined on the basis of a given country's performance against a range of predetermined threats – across countries and regions. It is complemented by 61 individual country case studies, derived from the Index. The paper forms part of the EPRS contribution to the 2023 Normandy World Peace Foru

Every year 2.2 billion tonnes of waste are generated in the EU. More than a quarter of it (27%) is municipal waste: everyday waste collected and treated by municipalities, which is mainly generated by households. Data shows that the amount of waste and the way it is managed varies a lot across EU countries, but there has been a shift to more recycling and less landfilling.

To reduce waste and its impact on the environment, the EU has adopted ambitious targets on recycling and landfill and is working on packaging waste. The goal is to promote the shift towards a more sustainable model known as the circular economy.

Ecocompatibile, biodegradabile, a impatto climatico zero… Negli ultimi anni, molte società hanno esagerato o presentato in modo ingannevole le proprie credenziali “verdi”, spesso truffando i consumatori con asserzioni ambientali o di durabilità gonfiate. La pratica è stata così abusata da dar vita al termine “greenwashing”. Il parlamento ha votato per vietare il greenwashing e rendere le informazioni sulla durabilità chiare e accessibili ai consumatori. Scopri di più nel nostro breve video esplicativo

Una stampa libera e indipendente è la chiave di ogni democrazia. Nonostante molti paesi dell’UE abbiano ecosistemi mediatici sani, il giornalismo indipendente non deve essere dato per scontato.

Karolis Vyšniauskas è un giornalista freelance e redattore presso NARA, un ente giornalistico senza scopo di lucro in Lituania. Provenendo da uno stato ex-comunista, i giornalisti di NARA capiscono l’importanza dei media indipendenti per la protezione della democrazia.

Lukas Hansen è il direttore editoriale presso ENTR, un progetto mediatico paneuropeo che offre notizie europee in otto lingue. Il suo scopo è promuovere il dibattito in Europa e il coinvolgimento nelle idee e nei valori comuni a livello europeo.

Il Parlamento europeo si impegna a garantire che i giornalisti e i media in tutta Europa continuino a lavorare in tutta libertà.
