EU-intyget om funktionsnedsättning och EU-parkeringstillståndet för personer med funktionsnedsättning är två initiativ som är tänkta att undanröja hinder för människor med funktionsnedsättningar som reser i EU. Det blir ett sätt för innehavarna att bevisa att de har en funktionsnedsättning och gör det lättare för dem att få service och kunna resa fritt som alla andra inom EU.

Ett grekisk-tysk-brittiskt konsortium har fått 2023 års Daphne Caruana Galizia-pris för journalistik. Undersökningen utredde på djupet händelserna kring förlisningen av fartyget Adriana den 14 juni 2023 där över 600 migranter omkom utanför Pylos kust i sydvästra Grekland. 
Priset ska lyfta fram EU:s principer och värden i enlighet med vad som står i EU:s stadga om de grundläggande rättigheterna. Det är uppkallat efter den maltesiska journalisten, bloggaren och korruptionsmotståndaren Daphne Caruana Galizia som mördades 2017.

The European Commission outlined various approaches to capture and store or isolate carbon dioxide emissions, or capture already released carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere to reduce the concentration and thereby its warming effect. Various solutions, both technology- and nature-based, are being brought forward to this end. A key challenge will be to ensure permanence of carbon dioxide removals, whether in underground geological storage or through actively managed natural processes, such as carbon farming and management practices in the land use, land-use change and forestry sectors.

Care work provided in homes and institutions is a public good that is under-valued by society. Care workers are more likely to have low earnings and precarious working conditions. About 9 in 10 care workers are women. Most unpaid care work within households is carried out by women. The 'unpaid care penalty' for women in the EU, which is equivalent to the earnings they lost because of this unbalanced distribution of care responsibilities, is estimated to reach €242 billion per year. EU action in the care sector has the potential for high returns for society. Fostering the 'equal earner – equal carer model' could generate benefits of between €24 billion and €48 billion a year.

Vård och omsorg i hem och på institutioner är en underskattad kollektiv nyttighet i våra samhällen. Anställda inom vård och omsorg har ofta låga inkomster och otrygga arbetsvillkor. Dessutom står kvinnor för huvuddelen av det obetalda omsorgsarbetet i hemmet. Det EU gör inom vård och omsorg kan bli mycket lönsamt för samhället. En modell med lika försörjnings- och omsorgsansvar skulle kunna ge årliga vinster på mellan 24 och 48 miljarder euro.

The aim of the legislative proposal for a Union certification framework for carbon removals initiative is to ensure high-quality EU certified carbon removals, through a transparent and credible governance framework. In doing so, this would open up the possibility for further investments towards carbon removal activities and increased deployment.

The European Parliament has regularly called for ambitious measures reducing greenhouse gas emissions in road transport.

The EP has been pushing for the implemention of its 2030 goals to be in line with the targets set by the Paris Agreement. MEPs managed to push through a higher target for reducing EU fleet-wide emissions for new cars by 2030 (40% compared to the EU Commission’s 30%; year of reference 2021). There is an intermediate target of 20% by 2025.&nbsp; Similar targets are set for new vans as well.

Car emissions

Volkswagen, the German car manufacturer, has acknowledged that many millions of its cars sold worldwide have been specially equipped to trick emission tests, so as to appear less polluting.

Long before VW’s emissions test-cheating software was revealed, MEPs repeatedly urged that car emissions testing should take account of real-world driving conditions, so as to end obvious discrepancies between official and real consumption and emissions figures.

The&nbsp; European Academy of Yuste Foundation set up the Carlos V European Award in order to reward the work of people, organisations, projects, or initiatives which through their efforts and dedication have contributed to the general knowledge and enhancement of Europe'ss cultural, social, scientific, and historical values, as well as to the process of European construction and integration

 
In order to highlight the work of these leaders, the Carlos V European Award is presented by a jury made up of distinguished figures. The presentation of the award takes place at a ceremony at the Royal Monastery of Yuste, presided over by the Spanish Royal Family. The Carlos V European Award represents the spirit of the construction of a united Europe

In May 2021, Parliament and Council negotiators agreed on a revision of the 2009 Blue Card directive to make it easier for employers in EU member states to hire third country nationals. Originally proposed by the Commission in 2016, this will be the only legislative change at EU level in the field of legal labour migration in recent years.

The revised directive on entry and residence conditions foresees more flexible criteria, including a lower threshold for the minimum salary that applicants must earn in order to qualify for a Blue Card. It also expands the rights of beneficiaries with simplified intra-EU mobility and faster family reunification procedures.

The European Parliament has been pushing for the implemention of its 2030 goals to be in line with the targets set by the Paris Agreement. MEPs managed to push through a higher target for reducing EU fleet-wide emissions for new cars by 2030 (40% compared to the EU Commission’s 30%; year of reference 2021). There is an intermediate target of 20% by 2025. Similar targets are set for new vans as well.

On 17 December 2015 the EP decided to set up the Committee of inquiry into Emission Measurements in the Automotive Sector (EMIS) to investigate in detail alleged breaches and maladministration in relation to emission measurements in the automotive sector. On 4 April 2019, the EMIS final report was discussed and legislation voted and approved during the plenary session in Strasbourg.

The proposed revision of the CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles would expand the scope of the Regulation to include urban buses, coaches, trailers and other types of lorries. The average CO2 emissions of heavy-duty vehicles, compared to 2019 levels, would have to fall by 45 % from 2030, by 65 % from 2035, and by 90 % from 2040 onwards. The proposal sets CO2 requirements for new trailers and targets 100 % of newly registered urban buses to be zero-emissions vehicles from 2030. The incentive scheme for zero- and low-emission vehicles would end in 2029, but manufacturers would be allowed to take into account emission credits or emission debts also after 2029. This infoclip shows aerial and non-aerial footage of heavy lorries and buses.

The Parliament debate on a new legislation to increase the use of renewable energy in line with the EU’s Green Deal and REPowerEU initiatives. The directive, already informally agreed with the Council, is intended to raise the share of renewables in the EU’s final energy consumption to 42.5% by 2030. Member states are urged to aim for 45%. The new law will also speed up the approval process for new renewable energy power plants, such as solar and wind farms, as well as the adaptation of existing ones.
