Een van de grootste successen van de EU is de vorming van een gemeenschappelijke economische markt. In 2023 is dat precies 30 jaar geleden. De Europese interne markt heeft gezorgd voor economische eenheid in Europa en het vrije verkeer van goederen, personen, diensten en kapitaal mogelijk gemaakt. Laat ons in de geschiedenis duiken van een van de pijlers van de EU zoals we die nu kennen.

Tijdlijn: 30 jaar Europese interne markt

Food prices in the EU have risen dramatically over the past two years. The chain of disruptions caused by the COVID 19 pandemic, extreme weather events and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 have led to severe shortages in the agri-food chain, resulting in higher consumer prices. The latest European Parliament Eurobarometer survey shows that the cost of living continues to be the main concern for European citizens.

MEPs, Council and Commission meet to try to reach a deal on the regulation for deforestation-free products. The new law would make it obligatory for companies to verify (so-called “due diligence”) that goods sold in the EU have not been produced on deforested land anywhere in the world. This would guarantee to consumers that the products they buy do not contribute to deforestation and reduce the EU’s contribution to climate change and biodiversity loss

Het Parlement heeft bepaald dat er niet langer tientallen verschillende laders mogen worden gebruikt en van USB-C de marktstandaard gemaakt. De enorme toename van het aantal verschillende soorten laders in de voorbije jaren leidt tot veel afval, schaadt het milieu en kost veel geld. Door de nieuwe regels voor laders van telefoons, tablets, laptops, e-readers en andere apparaten mogen de fabrikanten vanaf de herfst van 2024 slechts één standaardladertype leveren. Laten we eens kijken hoe de zaken vroeger waren en wat er zal veranderen.
