The proposed EU data act lays down harmonised rules on fair access to and use of data. The aim is to remove barriers before consumers and businesses' access to data in a context in which the volume of data generated by humans and machines is increasing exponentially and becoming a critical factor for innovation by businesses (e.g. algorithm training) and by public authorities (e.g. shaping of smart cities).

EPRS policy podcast - The Data act

On 20 July 2021, the European Commission presented a package of legislative proposals in the area of anti-money-laundering efforts and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). The package includes a proposal for a regulation on preventing the use of the financial system for money laundering or terrorist financing. The proposed regulation would be the central element of what is commonly referred to as an EU 'single rulebook' on AML/CFT. Its detailed and directly applicable provisions would replace the minimum rules of the EU AML directives currently in force. In this podcast, we’ll examine the European Commission proposal to strengthen the EU's anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist financing rules, which is vital to ensure financial stability and security in our continent.

On 9 May 1950, the Salon de l’Horloge in the French Ministry of&nbsp;Foreign Affairs building on Quai d’Orsay in Paris was transformed into a press room. At 18:00, Robert Schuman gave his speech that led to the establishment of a new supranational organisation with a view to creating a common coal and steel market between France and Germany which was also open to other European countries. It would be the European Coal and Steel Community, or ECSC. Since 1985, Europe Day has been celebrated on 9 May every year.

​​​​​' World peace cannot be safeguarded without the making of creative efforts proportionate to the dangers which threaten it. 
The contribution which an organized and living Europe can bring to civilization is indispensable to the maintenance of peaceful relations. In taking upon herself for more than 20 years the role of champion of a united Europe, France has always had as her essential aim the service of peace. A united Europe was not achieved and we had war. 
Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity. The coming together of the nations of Europe requires the elimination of the age-old opposition of France and Germany. Any action taken must in the first place concern these two countries. 
With this aim in view, the French Government proposes that action be taken immediately on one limited but decisive point. 
It proposes that Franco-German production of coal and steel as a whole be placed under a common High Authority, within the framework of an organization open to the participation of the other countries of Europe. The pooling of coal and steel production should immediately provide for the setting up of common foundations for economic development as a first step in the federation of Europe, and will change the destinies of those regions which have long been devoted to the manufacture of munitions of war, of which they have been the most constant victims. 
The solidarity in production thus established will make it plain that any war between France and Germany becomes not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible. The setting up of this powerful productive unit, open to all countries willing to take part and bound ultimately to provide all the member countries with the basic elements of industrial production on the same terms, will lay a true foundation for their economic unification. 
This production will be offered to the world as a whole without distinction or exception, with the aim of contributing to raising living standards and to promoting peaceful achievements. With increased resources Europe will be able to pursue the achievement of one of its essential tasks, namely, the development of the African continent. In this way, there will be realised simply and speedily that fusion of interest which is indispensable to the establishment of a common economic system; it may be the leaven from which may grow a wider and deeper community between countries long opposed to one another by sanguinary divisions. 
By pooling basic production and by instituting a new High Authority, whose decisions will bind France, Germany and other member countries, this proposal will lead to the realization of the first concrete foundation of a European federation indispensable to the preservation of peace. 
To promote the realization of the objectives defined, the French Government is ready to open negotiations on the following bases. 
The task with which this common High Authority will be charged will be that of securing in the shortest possible time the modernization of production and the improvement of its quality; the supply of coal and steel on identical terms to the French and German markets, as well as to the markets of other member countries; the development in common of exports to other countries; the equalization and improvement of the living conditions of workers in these industries. 
To achieve these objectives, starting from the very different conditions in which the production of member countries is at present situated, it is proposed that certain transitional measures should be instituted, such as the application of a production and investment plan, the establishment of compensating machinery for equating prices, and the creation of a restructuring fund to facilitate the rationalization of production. The movement of coal and steel between member countries will immediately be freed from all customs duty, and will not be affected by differential transport rates. Conditions will gradually be created which will spontaneously provide for the more rational distribution of production at the highest level of productivity. 
In contrast to international cartels, which tend to impose restrictive practices on distribution and the exploitation of national markets, and to maintain high profits, the organization will ensure the fusion of markets and the expansion of production. 
The essential principles and undertakings defined above will be the subject of a treaty signed between the States and submitted for the ratification of their parliaments. The negotiations required to settle details of applications will be undertaken with the help of an arbitrator appointed by common agreement. He will be entrusted with the task of seeing that the agreements reached conform with the principles laid down, and, in the event of a deadlock, he will decide what solution is to be adopted. 
The common High Authority entrusted with the management of the scheme will be composed of independent persons appointed by the governments, giving equal representation. A chairman will be chosen by common agreement between the governments. The Authority's decisions will be enforceable in France, Germany and other member countries. Appropriate measures will be provided for means of appeal against the decisions of the Authority. 
A representative of the United Nations will be accredited to the Authority, and will be instructed to make a public report to the United Nations twice yearly, giving an account of the working of the new organization, particularly as concerns the safeguarding of its objectives. 
The institution of the High Authority will in no way prejudge the methods of ownership of enterprises. In the exercise of its functions, the common High Authority will take into account the powers conferred upon the International Ruhr Authority and the obligations of all kinds imposed upon Germany, so long as these remain in force.

Zodra ze zijn gekozen, hebben de Leden van het Europees Parlement een belangrijke taak. Ze zijn de ogen, oren en stemmen van alle Europeanen in het Parlement. U hebt voor hen gestemd, nu stemmen zij voor u! Europarlementariërs zitten in parlementaire fracties, een beetje zoals partijen in nationale parlementen, en luisteren naar wat mensen bezighoudt, debatteren, overleggen met belanghebbende partijen en stemmen over wetten. Kom meer te weten over de rol van Leden van het Europees Parlement!

De rol van de Leden van het Europees Parlement

De rechtsstaat is een hoeksteen van de democratie en een EU-kernwaarde. Leden van het Europese Parlement waarschuwen al heel lang dat het in verschillende lidstaten wordt bedreigd, zij zijn bezorgd over corruptie en gecompromitteerde rechtssystemen die kunnen leiden tot misbruik van EU-fondsen. Het Europees Parlement heeft een tool ontwikkeld om het geld en de waarden van de EU te beschermen. Met het conitionaliteits-mechanisme van de rechtsstaat kan de EU betalingen opschorten die mogelijk worden gebruikt op manieren die haaks staan op onze democratische normen en fundamentele rechten. Meer weten? Kijk deze korte uitlegvideo.

Het conitionaliteits-mechanisme van de rechtsstaat ontcijferd

Het Europees Parlement heeft het groene licht gegeven voor een nieuw kader dat de volatiele wereld van crypto-valuta's moet reguleren. De EP-leden keurden een baanbrekende set regels voor crypto-activa goed die het witwassen van geld en marktmanipulatie moeten tegengaan. De EU wil illegale stromen crypto-activa traceren en stoppen, maar het voor mensen veiliger maken ze te bezitten en te verhandelen.

Consumenten beschermen met nieuwe regels voor crypto-activa

Van berichtenapps tot online marktplaatsen: digitale diensten spelen een centrale rol in ons dagelijks leven. Maar de online wereld zit ook vol nepnieuws, schadelijke inhoud en dubieuze zakenpraktijken. Grote techbedrijven maken er de dienst uit. Het Europees Parlement heeft nieuwe regels aangenomen om ze te reguleren en een eerlijkere en veiligere omgeving te creëren voor bedrijven en consumenten. Ontdek in onze korte Q&A meer over de wet inzake digitale diensten en de wet inzake digitale markten.

De wet inzake digitale diensten en de wet inzake digitale markten uitgelegd

Wat als je telefoon een spionagemiddel wordt dat kwaadaardige actoren toegang geeft tot je locatie, foto's, contacten, camera en microfoon? Dat is precies wat spyware zoals Pegasus en Predator heeft gedaan met de telefoons van bepaalde journalisten, oppositiepolitici en burgeractivisten. Naast illegaal is deze praktijk ook gevaarlijk voor de democratie en de mensenrechten. De EP-leden willen basisregels instellen over wanneer en hoe zulke spyware gebruikt zou moeten worden. Jouw vragen over de gevaren van spyware, beantwoord door EP-lid Sophie in ‘t Veld.

Het Parlement wil het illegale gebruik van spyware stoppen

Van smartphones tot slimme steden, apparaten met een internetverbinding produceren steeds meer gegevens. Het Europees Parlement wil het potentieel daarvan vrijgeven. Gegevens zijn de sleutel tot innovatie in sectoren van technologie tot gezondheid, transport tot landbouw. De Europarlementariërs zijn bezorgd dat te veel gegevens onbenut blijven of in handen zijn van techreuzen. Ze willen nieuwe regels om kleinere bedrijven en overheidsinstanties te helpen betere producten en diensten te leveren. De Dataverordening creëert een kader voor de economie van morgen.

Wat biedt de nieuwe EU-Dataverordening aan bedrijven, innovators en Europeanen?

In the context of the digital and ecological transition, space services such as satellite communication are becoming a strategic asset. The Russian war of invasion also shows how important it is for defence and civilian purposes. With that in mind, the EU has the ambition to deploy its own constellation of up to 170 satellites to provide secure, uninterrupted and fast communications. The programme promises major advances to our economy and society. But to be successful, it must address challenges like space congestion.
