Kad domājam par Eiropas Parlamentu, visbiežāk iztēlojamies plenārsēžu zāli, kurā balso deputāti. Patiesībā šī balsošana notiek tikai reizi mēnesī plenārsesiju laikā. Bet kas ir šīs sesijas un kā tās notiek?

Kas ir plenārsesija?

Voting session

MEPs outline proposals to improve the protection of EU citizens against exposure to second-hand smoke and aerosols, including from electronic cigarettes. In Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, the Commission has previously announced its intention to update the current Council Recommendation on smoke-free environments, which dates back to 20019. A revision was needed to extend its scope to certain emerging products, such as electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco, due to the rapid market growth and appeal of such products in recent years, especially among young people. The Commission recommends EU countries reduce the risk of second-hand exposure by banning the use of all tobacco products in certain outdoor spaces, such as public playgrounds and amusement parks, areas related to restaurants/cafés, public transportation, healthcare and education establishments, as well as workplaces.
