Virusul imunodeficienței umane, prescurtat HIV, a fost detectat pentru prima oară în anii 1980. În timp, eforturile depuse pentru a trata și preveni infecția cauzată de acesta au transformat-o dintr-o boală mortală într-una ținută sub control. La nivel global au fost infectate peste 88 de milioane de persoane și s-au înregistrat 42 de milioane de decese. În prezent, circa 40 de milioane de persoane trăiesc cu HIV, din care aproximativ 810 000 în Uniunea Europeană. Sistemele sanitare sunt gestionate de fiecare țară în parte, însă Uniunea sprijină programele transfrontaliere, finanțează activitățile de cercetare prin programul său Orizont Europa și susține campaniile de sănătate publică. Uniunea s-a angajat să respecte obiectivele „95-95-95” ale Programului Comun al Națiunilor Unite pentru HIV/SIDA. Potrivit acestora, până în 2025, 95 % dintre persoanele cu HIV ar trebui să afle că sunt infectate, 95 % dintre cei care știu de infecție ar trebui să beneficieze de tratament, iar 95 % dintre cei din urmă ar trebui să aibă încărcătura virală suprimată. În acest episod al emisiunii „Ridicarea ștachetei: o legislație mai bună” analizăm rolul vital jucat de Uniunea Europeană pentru a preveni HIV, a combate stigmatizarea și a îmbunătăți viața oamenilor din toate țările Uniunii. Obiectivul final este ca, până în 2030, HIV să înceteze să mai fie o amenințare.

The historic partnership between the European Union (EU) and the Kingdom of Morocco, underpinned by a number of political and economic agreements, has given Morocco a new momentum for its modernisation and democratic transition process.

With the signing of an association agreement in 1996, coming into force in 2000, the cooperation between the Kingdom of Morocco and the EU has expanded to include politics and security. This Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreement aims to provide an appropriate framework for political dialogue between the EU and its partners in the Mediterranean Basin.

With war having returned to the European continent, measuring the level of threats to peace, security and democracy around the world – as the 'Normandy Index' does – is more important than ever. The annual Index was presented for the first time at the Normandy Peace Forum in June 2019, as a result of a partnership between the European Parliament and the Region of Normandy. The Index has been designed and prepared by the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), in conjunction with and on the basis of data provided by the Institute for Economics and Peace. This paper sets out the findings of the 2023 exercise, which draws on data compiled in 2022, and explains how the Index can be used to compare peace – defined on the basis of a given country's performance against a range of predetermined threats – across countries and regions. It is complemented by 61 individual country case studies, derived from the Index. The paper forms part of the EPRS contribution to the 2023 Normandy World Peace Foru

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.
