Apputeksnētāji ir svarīgi mūsu ekosistēmai un labklājībai, taču visā pasaulē tos apdraud klimata pārmaiņas, biotopu izzušana, kaitēkļi un intensīva lauksaimniecība vienas kultūras audzēšanai. Šo apdraudējumu dēļ dramatiski samazinās gan savvaļas, gan cilvēku aprūpēto apputeksnētāju sugu skaits. ES cenšas aizsargāt visus apputeksnētājus.

The progress of&nbsp;digital transformation&nbsp;has inevitably led to new cybersecurity threats.&nbsp;Also the COVID19 crisis has again exposed the cyber vulnerabilities of some critical sectors, in particular healthcare, while teleworking and social distance has increased our dependency on digital technologies and connectivity.

As&nbsp; a consequence, in December 2020 the European Commission launched a new EU Cybersecurity Strategy&nbsp;to make physical and digital critical entities more resilient.

The European Parliament and the Coucil reached a deal on&nbsp;May 2022 on the new rules to&nbsp;strengthen EU-wide resilience

The agreed text&nbsp;sets tighter cybersecurity obligations in terms of risk management, reporting obligations and information sharing. The requirements include incident response, supply chain security, encryption and vulnerability disclosure, among other provisions.

MEPs discuss the EU’s role in protecting the Roma language and culture, following a statement by President Roberta Metsola.

Statement of EP President on International Roma Day

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.

MEPs discuss the President’s decision (based on a recommendation of the Committee on legal Affairs) to ask the Court of Justice of the EU to clarify the Commission’s role in and margins of discretion around the unfreezing of EU cohesion funds for Hungary. They will also look into the continuing threat to EU values, institutions, and funds posed by the Hungarian government, including the lack of progress on the Article 7(1) procedure initiated by Parliament in 2018. 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”.

Videi draudzīgi, bioloģiski noārdāmi, klimatneitrāli... Pēdējos gados daudzi uzņēmumi ir pārspīlējuši vai nepatiesi norādījuši savas zaļās īpašības, bieži vien maldinot patērētājus ar pārspīlētiem apgalvojumiem par vidi vai ilgmūžību. Šāda prakse ir tik izplatīta, ka radās termins “zaļmaldināšana". Parlaments ir nobalsojis par zaļmaldināšanas aizliegumu un par to, lai patērētājiem būtu skaidra un viegli pieejama informācija par ilgmūžību. Uzziniet vairāk mūsu īsajā skaidrojošajā video.

The European Parliament has had a crucial role in shaping groundbreaking EU rules to make sure our digital world is safe and fair.

Digitālās plaisas mazināšana, ieguldījumi pētniecībā un inovācijā... Visā ES digitalizācijas procesā piedalās dažādu sabiedrības slāņu pārstāvji.  

Heigo un viņa “MindChip” komanda Igaunijā kopā ar Tallinas un Tartu universitātēm izstrādā autonomus kuģus un mākslīgā intelekta “kapteiņus”, lai palīdzētu vākt jūras datus. Zagorka brīvprātīgi darbojas uzņēmumā “Simbioza”, kas Slovēnijā mazina digitālo plaisu, mācot veciem un jauniem cilvēkiem izmantot digitālos rīkus.  

Eiropas Parlaments rūpējas par to, lai ikviens gūtu labumu no digitālās pārejas ES, ieguldot līdzekļus dažādos projektos, sākot no robotu pētniecības līdz skolu digitalizācijai, nodrošinot rīkus un zināšanas ikvienam. Tādas programmas kā Eiropas Reģionālās attīstības fonds, “Apvārsnis 2020” un “Erasmus+” iegulda līdzekļus inovācijā un reģionu kopīgā attīstībā.

A free and independent press is a cornerstone of any democracy. While most EU countries have healthy media landscapes, independent journalism should not be taken for granted.

Karolis Vyšniauskas is a freelance journalist and editor at NARA, a non-profit journalism space in Lithuania. Coming from an ex-communist state, journalists at NARA understand the importance of independent media to protect democracy.

Lukas Hansen is the editorial director at ENTR, a pan-European media project which covers European news in eight languages. Their aim is to inspire debate about life in Europe and promote engagement in common European values and ideas.

The European Parliament is working to ensure journalists and media across Europe can continue to work freely.

Brīva un neatkarīga prese ir jebkuras demokrātijas stūrakmens. Lai gan lielākajā daļā ES valstu plašsaziņas līdzekļu vide ir veselīga, neatkarīgu žurnālistiku nedrīkst uzskatīt par pašsaprotamu.

Karolis Vīšniausks ir ārštata žurnālists un redaktors bezpeļņas žurnālistikas telpā “NARA” Lietuvā. “NARA” žurnālisti nāk no bijušās komunistiskās valsts, tāpēc saprot, cik svarīgi demokrātijas aizsardzībai ir neatkarīgi plašsaziņas līdzekļi.

Lukass Hansens ir redakcijas direktors “ENTR” – Eiropas mēroga plašsaziņas līdzekļu projektā, kas publicē Eiropas ziņas astoņās valodās. Viņu mērķis ir rosināt debates par dzīvi Eiropā un veicināt iesaistīšanos kopīgu Eiropas vērtību un ideju īstenošanā.

Eiropas Parlaments strādā, lai nodrošinātu, ka žurnālisti un plašsaziņas līdzekļi visā Eiropā var turpināt brīvi strādāt.
