L-Unjoni Ewropea qiegħda tfassal l-ewwel Att fid-dinja dwar l-Intelliġenza Artifiċjali. Il-Parlament jixtieq jippromwovi l-innovazzjoni f’dan il-qasam filwaqt li jħares id-drittijiet tal-bniedem u l-libertajiet fundamentali. Il-liġi l-ġdida se tipprojbixxi s-sistemi li jkollhom livell inaċċettabbli ta’ riskju għas-sigurtà tal-bnedmin u se timponi regoli fuq sistemi oħra.

Diġà għaddejjin investigazzjonijiet attivi dwar allegati delitti tal-gwerra, delitti kontra l-umanità u ġenoċidju, u l-UE għandha rwol attiv f'dan il-proċess.

Green bonds are committed to financing or re-financing investments, projects, expenditure or assets helping to address climate and environmental issues. Both governments and companies use them to finance the transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon economy. Since the EIB inaugurated the green bond market in 2007 with its Climate Awareness Bond, the market has grown very fast, but it still represents only about 3 to 3.5 % of overall bond issuance. The green bond market needs to grow more quickly to achieve the targets in the Paris Agreement. In this podcast, we’ll talk about European green bonds, a tool for financing green investments that can help us make the transition to a low-carbon economy, and how a European standard could be become global.

Statistics and research results show that in recent decades, before the coronavirus pandemic, the EU's labour market witnessed an increase in female employment rates. Women's employment seems to have been more resilient than men's to the economic and financial crisis in 2008.

Plenary discusses the latest ruling by the International Court of Justice regarding Israel and the alleged involvement of UNRWA staff in the 7 October attacks The International Court of Justice ordered Israel to take a series of measures to prevent any acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, after South Africa filed an application against Israel at the court in December 2023. It also ordered Israel to take immediate and effective measures to ensure aid can reach people in Gaza. During the debate with the Council and the European Commission on Tuesday afternoon, MEPs also discuss the allegations that 12 staff members of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA ) were involved in the 7 October attacks against Israel. While several donor countries have suspended their UNRWA funding, the EU said it will take a decision in light of the outcome of the investigation announced by the UN and its subsequent actions.
