MEPs assess recent and proposed EU measures to protect European households and businesses from rising prices during the coming winter. Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the disruption of Russian gas supplies has led to skyrocketing electricity prices and market volatility, leading the Commission and member states to consider new policy options such as capping prices or decoupling of gas and electricity prices.

Het Parlement besprak de sociale en economische gevolgen van de oorlog in Oekraïne, nu de EU is begonnen met het afbouwen van de import van Russische ruwe olie. De Parlementsleden verwelkomden de conclusies van de Conferentie over de toekomst van Europa en gaven aan dat er voor de volledige uitvoering hiervan EU-verdragen moeten worden herzien. Ze debatteerden ook over voorstellen om de EU-verkiezingen te hervormen en over de Werelddag van de Persvrijheid. Intussen nam het Parlement een standpunt in over afvalvermindering door de invoering van een universele lader op de EU-markt.

Hoogtepunten plenaire zitting: Russische olie, de toekomst van Europa en persvrijheid

This infoclip illustrates the delivery of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in Europe, to Gate (Gas Access to Europe) terminal in the port of Rotterdam, Netherlands on 12/05/2022. Gate terminal is a gateway for LNG from across the world. The import terminal on Maasvlakte in Rotterdam contributes to the natural gas supply in the Netherlands and Northwest Europe. The terminal receives LNG, stores it, regasifies it and then supplies it to the gas transport network for distribution to households and industry. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a clear, colourless liquid created when natural gas is cooled to -162°C. In liquid form, LNG occupies approximately 600 times less volume than standard natural gas, which enables it to be stored and transported very efficiently. LNG is an alternative to gas transport via pipelines, particularly for transportation over long distances. LNG is also used as fuel for vessels and lorries, as a replacement for diesel and heavy fuel oil.

A new “right to repair” must encompass long-lasting products that can be fixed, labelling to better inform consumers and extending guarantee rights. The draft text stresses that an effective right to repair should address a product’s lifecycle and take into account product design, ethical production, standardisation, labelling on reparability and on the expected lifespan of a product. Closing statement by Věra JOUROVÁ, Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of Values and Transparency.

77% van de mensen in de EU zouden hun defecte huishoudartikelen liever repareren dan vervangen. Het Parlement ijvert voor een 'recht op reparatie' in de EU, dat fabrikanten ertoe zou aansporen om het voor consumenten gemakkelijker te maken hun apparaten te repareren in plaats van nieuwe te kopen.

Recht op reparatie: een nieuw leven voor gebruiksartikelen

Het Parlement zal de dringende situatie in Oekraïne bespreken, meer dan een maand nadat Rusland zijn illegale en onuitgelokte invasie begon. De Europarlementariërs zullen stemmen over de regelgeving voor trans-Europese energienetwerken, die de weg moet banen naar een moderne, onafhankelijke infrastructuur van groene energie. Op de agenda staan ook de rechten van vrouwen en meisjes in Afghanistan, het 'recht op reparatie' van gebruiksartikelen en de regelgeving over het gebruik van 'big data'. Dat allemaal en nog meer op de agenda in Straatsburg.

Op de agenda in Straatsburg: Oekraïne, energie, vrouwen in Afghanistan

Onze levens worden gedomineerd door online en digitale uitwisselingen. De digitale markten zijn doorgedrongen in ieder aspect van ons leven, voor werk of ontspanning, om dingen te kopen of te verkopen, om op de hoogte blijven of om eenvoudig maar te communiceren. Maar wie houdt een oogje in het zeil op de platformen en de bedrijven die dit alles mogelijk maken? Zijn onze persoonsgegevens veilig? Hoe kan een betere regelgeving worden uitgevoerd? Deze en andere kwesties krijgen een antwoord met twee belangrijke wetteksten: de wet inzake digitale markten en de wet inzake digitale diensten.

De digitale omgeving: 'Wij winnen de controle terug'
