Bulgarian Presidency

<p>The Industry, Research and Energy, and Culture and Education committees questioned Iliana Ivanova, Bulgarian candidate for innovation, research, culture, education and youth. Ms Ivanova was nominated to replace Mariya Gabriel, who resigned on 15 May to become Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister of Bulgaria. During her introductory speech, Commissioner-designate Iliana Ivanova presented her priorities to invest in research and innovation in the EU, boosting skills, promoting the cohesive role of culture and empowering youth.</p>

<p>The EU is a scientific powerhouse, she underlined, however the landscape remains “fragmented” and investments are below the target of 3% of GDP and behind global competitors. She vowed to do the utmost to support the Horizon Europe programme as a tool to ensure that Europe can be “a trailblazer at global level” and attract more resources, including through partnerships, and to facilitate access to funding for SMEs.</p>

<p>The European Parliament during its September session&nbsp;approved the appointment of Iliana Ivanova&nbsp;as Commissioner for innovation, research, culture, education and youth.</p>

Plenary session. Review of the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union

&lt;p>В Европейския съюз демокрацията може да ни изглежда очевидна днес, но това невинаги е било така. Не много отдавна милиони европейци са живели във времена, в които не са можели да гласуват или дори да изразяват мнението си свободно. Животът им е можел да бъде застрашен само защото са различни, имат различни убеждения или искат да живеят по различен начин. Демокрацията е ценен дар, който ни е завещан от предишните поколения. Тя е била техният идеал и те са се борили за нея. Сега е нашият ред да я запазим, да я направим по-силна и да я предадем на следващите поколения. Най-ефективният начин е да гласуваме&nbsp;– защото колкото повече хора гласуват, толкова по-силна става демокрацията. На 6&nbsp;–&nbsp;9 юни 2024&nbsp;г.: използвай гласа си&nbsp;– ако ли не, други ще решават вместо теб.&lt;/p>&lt;p>© ANDCO A/S, 2024. All rights reserved.

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.

EPRS - What Europe does for me: Supporting women in the workplace - Bulgarian (subtitles)

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.
