The European Council received Ukraine's application for EU membership on 28 February. It has asked the European Commission to prepare an Opinion, which will assess the merits of the applications against the EU accession criteria, notably the Copenhagen criteria [focusing on the political and economic criteria].

The European Commission has found that Ukraine overall is well advanced in reaching the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities; has continued its strong macro-economic record, demonstrating a noteworthy resilience with macroeconomic and financial stability, while needing to continue ambitious structural economic reforms; and has gradually approximated to substantial elements of the EU acquis in many areas.

On this basis, the Commission recommended that&nbsp;Ukraine be given the perspective to become a member of the European Union. The European Council has decided to grant the status of candidate country to Ukraine in June 2022.

Ukraine's application for EU membership

Equality and non-discrimination are core EU values and fundamental rights, enshrined in the Treaties and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights. However, research by the EU's Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) shows that discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, non-binary, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) people persists across the EU.

The Commission presented the 'LGBTIQ Equality Strategy 2020-2025' on 12 November 2020. This was&nbsp;the first ever full EU strategy in this area and is intended to build on the lessons learned from the European Commission's previous actions to advance LGBTI equality from 2015-2019.

In recent years, social acceptance of LGBTIQ people has declined in some Member States. Gaps remain in the EU's legislative framework for combating discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. Combating discrimination has become part of EU internal and external policies, and is the subject of numerous resolutions of the European Parliament. In response to the backsliding of LGBTIQ rights in some EU countries, notably Poland and Hungary, MEPs&nbsp;declared the EU an “LGBTIQ Freedom Zone”.

In 2021 Parliament “condemned&nbsp;in the strongest possible terms” the anti-LGBTIQ legislation and denounced&nbsp;the dismantling of democracy and the rule of law in Hungary.&nbsp;In a resolution&nbsp;MEPs described the Hungarian law as being in clear breach of fundamental rights enshrined in the EU Charter of fundamental rights, the Treaties and EU internal market legislation.

LGBTIQ freedom in the EU

Slovenia is a Member of the EU since May 2004, of the Eurozone since 1 January 2007 and of the Schengen area since 21 December 2007.

In March 2021, a debate in plenary was organised in the wake of concerns raised after Klubradio in Hungary was taken off the air, the proposed new levy on media advertising revenue in Poland, and emerging reports of political interference in Slovenian media. In November 2020, Parliament adopted the Resolution on Strengthening Media Freedom: the Protection of Journalists in Europe, Hate Speech, Disinformation and the Role of Platforms.

EU - Slovenia

From July to December 2021, Slovenia holds the Presidency of the EU Council, following the Portuguese Presidency and preceding the French Presidency. This is the second time Slovenia holds the Presidency.The last time was in 2008.

The presidency of the Council rotates among the EU member states every 6 months. During this 6-month period, the presidency chairs meetings at every level in the Council, helping to ensure the continuity of the EU's work. Member states holding the presidency work together closely in groups of three, called 'trios'. This system was introduced by the Lisbon Treaty in 2009.

The trio sets long-term goals and prepares a common agenda determining the topics and major issues that will be addressed by the Council over an 18-month period. On the basis of this programme, each of the three countries prepares its own more detailed 6-month programme.

Under the slogan “Together. Resilient. Europe.”,&nbsp;the Slovenian presidency wants to&nbsp;focus on recovery and resilience, translating ambitious green goals into binding legislation, strategic autonomy, the digital transition, rule of law and the protection of external borders.

The Conference on the Future of Europe was a citizen-led series of debates and discussions enabling&nbsp;people from across Europe to share their ideas and help shape a common European future.
This one-year journey of discussion, debate and collaboration between citizens and politicians on the future of Europe culminated in a report submitted on 9 May to the Presidents of the EU institutions. The report outlines 49 proposals and more than 320 measures including concrete objectives. It is now up to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Commission to follow up, each according to their own area of competence.

Conference on the Future of Europe

In March 2021, the European Commission adopted the Strategy for the rights of persons with disabilities 2021-2030. The Strategy builds on the results of the previous European Disability Strategy 2010-2020, which paved the way to a barrier-free Europe and to empower persons with disabilities so they can enjoy their rights and participate fully in society and economy.

Despite the progress made in the past decade, persons with disabilities still face considerable barriers and have a higher risk of poverty and social exclusion.

The objective of this Strategy is to progress towards ensuring that all persons with disabilities in Europe, regardless of their sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, age or sexual orientation enjoy their human rights, have equal opportunities, equal access to participate in society and economy, are able to decide where, how and with whom they live, move freely in the EU regardless of their support needs and no longer experience discrimination.

The EU and its Member States are committed to improving social and economic situation of disabled people building on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU and on the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. The European Union and all its Member States are party to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).

European Disability Strategy

Full gender equality is far from being achieved, and this has implications for the lives and life chances of individual women, girls, boys and men, the communities they live in and the EU as a whole. The European Parliament has consistently taken a strong, proactive stance on advancing gender equality, stressing the need to deliver on EU commitments.

The EP´s Committee of Women´s rights and Gender equality (FEMM) is in the heart of these discussions.

Options for further EU involvement could include better implementation and enforcement of existing legislation, moves to modernise it, fill gaps in protection and address emerging issues, and non-legislative measures such as data collection and monitoring, awareness-raising, and support for national and grassroots initiatives.

Promoting equal economic independence for women and men, closing the gender pay gap, advancing gender balance in decision making, ending gender based violence and promoting gender equality beyond the EU are the concrete areas of interest for the EU.

Gender balance

Every year around 9 May, ‘Europe Day’, the European Parliament&nbsp;organizes events in the three places of work as well as in the Member States. These open door events (in the case of the EP, taking place in Brussels, Strasbourg and Luxembourg) are an opportunity for the institutions to open their doors to citizens, invite them in and showcase what they are, what they do and what they stand for.

This year the EP opens to citizens on the 6th May in Brussels and 9th May in Strasbourg.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The common agricultural policy (CAP) is one of the oldest common policies in the EU. Its significance is reflected in the proportion of the EU's budget devoted to it, representing approximately 40% of the total. Developed at a time when Europe was unable to meet most of its own food needs, it was necessary to encourage farmers to produce food by means of guaranteed prices. The policy has undergone regular reform and has evolved over the years.

As part of the preparation of the EU budget for 2021-2027, the European Commission put forward a new set of regulations to shape the future CAP on 1 June 2018. The proposal for a regulation on the financing, management and monitoring of the CAP provides the legislative framework for adapting the financing, management and monitoring rules to a new CAP delivery model.

As part of the European Green Deal, with the European Climate Law, the EU has set itself a binding target of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. This requires current greenhouse gas emission levels to drop substantially in the next decades. As an intermediate step towards climate neutrality, the EU has raised its 2030 climate ambition, committing to cutting emissions by at least 55% by 2030.

On 18 April 2023, MEPs&nbsp; adopted the reform of EU´s Emissions Trading System including for aviation and the maritime sector, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and a new Social Climate fund. The&nbsp;deal on the reform of the Emissions Trading System (ETS)&nbsp;increases the ambition for 2030, phases out free allowances to companies and creates a separate new ETS II for fuel for road transport and buildings that will put a price on emissions from these sectors by 2027.

According to the&nbsp;agreement with EU countries, an EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will be set up to ensure that importers of goods covered by the EU ETS would have to pay any price difference between the price paid for carbon in the country of production and the price of carbon allowances in the EU ETS. This will incentivise non-EU countries to increase their climate ambition and ensure that EU and global climate efforts are not undermined by production being relocated from the EU to countries with less ambitious policies.

A separate deal with member states&nbsp;sets up an EU Social Climate Fund to ensure that the climate transition will be fair and socially inclusive. Vulnerable households, micro-enterprises and transport users who are particularly affected by energy and transport poverty will benefit from the fund. When fully in place, it will be funded from auctioning ETS II allowances up to an amount of €65 billion, with an additional 25% covered by national resources (amounting to an estimated total of €86.7 billion).

As part of the "Fit for 55 " package, thePArliamnet has also adopted during MArch 2024, plans, already agreed upon with Council, to help reduce energy consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions from the buildings sector.

The proposed revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive aims to progressively reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption in the EU building sector, and make it climate neutral by 2050. It also aims to have more worst-performing buildings renovated and improve information-sharing on energy performance.

Parliament will vote on legislation allowing EU consumers to make collective action lawsuits. MEPs will also call on the Commission to come up with a revised strategy for the future of European industry and vote for the better protection of journalists and for public media independence. All that and more coming up in plenary.

Coming up in plenary: Collective action, justice for the digital age and the right to repair

The European Parliament has struck a deal with representatives of EU governments to ensure a greener and forward-looking budget for the next seven years as well as a swift recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. After ten weeks of intense negotiations, MEPs secured an additional €16 billion in EU investments to support Europeans, foster research and address future crises.

A stronger budget to get Europe back on its feet

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted many sectors, including Europe’s industries. MEPs are asking the Commission to come up with a new Industrial Strategy to help the sector recover and transform to a greener, more digital form.

A post-pandemic Industrial Strategy

Coronavirus has exposed how countries across the world were unprepared for a global pandemic. With the new EU4Health programme, the European Parliament wants to help make European healthcare systems more resilient and better prepared for future health crises.

Improving healthcare with EU4Health

From cheeses to wines, more than 3,400 traditional food products are protected by geographical indications in Europe. While these appellations are protected within the EU, that’s not the case everywhere. Parliament wants to continue to defend Europe’s specialties from counterfeiting and misuse outside the EU.

Protecting Europe’s delicious specialities

Parliament will consider the new EU4Health programme, discuss terrorism and freedom of speech and set out its priorities for the 2021 budget. Plus, better protecting Europe’s regional specialities and a new vice-president. All that and more coming up in plenary.

Coming up in plenary: improving healthcare, fighting terrorism and the 2021 budget

President Sassoli announced the winner of the 2020 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. MEPs set out proposals for future farm policy and called for measures to halt EU-driven deforestation and ensure equal access to education. They also made recommendations for future legislation on AI.

Plenary highlights: Sakharov Prize, farm policy and artificial intelligence

The European Parliament is celebrating the 25 years since the Beijing Declaration. This blueprint to advance women’s rights has been met with actions from the European Parliament too.

It’s Gender Equality Week!

Parliament will outline its demands for the better regulation of companies offering goods and services online and present its vision for an EU farm policy, promoting green, sustainable and fair farming. Parliamentary leaders will select the winner of the 2020 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. All that and more coming up in plenary.

Coming up in plenary: Rules for online platforms, the future of farming and the Sakharov Prize

As we increasingly live our lives online, Parliament says we need new rules for digital service providers. From online shopping to content shared on social media, MEPs are being guided by a simple principle: If it’s illegal offline, it should be illegal online.

Illegal offline? It should be illegal online too

Forests cover nearly half of the EU. They play a major role in the fight against climate change and in protecting our biodiversity. MEPs want to make sure the EU Forest Strategy can help forests and the forestry sector prosper. The strategy aims to be a bridge between national policies and EU environmental objectives.

Europe needs healthy forests to fight climate change

Parliament voted for a higher emissions reduction target for 2030 and said the Forest Strategy must be aligned with the European Green Deal. MEPs called for a rule of law mechanism to protect EU democracy, as well as common rules for crowdfunding and more money to help young people.

Plenary highlights: reducing CO2 emissions, rule of law and youth unemployment

Following the resignation of Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has reshuffled her team. MEPs held two extraordinary hearings for the posts of Trade and Finance. Valdis Dombrovskis, currently the Executive Vice-President of the Commission, was questioned by a group of committees led by the Committee on International Trade for the trade portfolio. Parliament will have the final say on his appointment.

Parliament vets Valdis Dombrovskis for Trade Commissioner

Following the resignation of Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has reshuffled her team. MEPs held two extraordinary hearings for the posts of Trade and Finance. Mairead McGuinness, who served as Parliament's first vice-president was questioned by the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee for the finance portfolio. Parliament will have the final say on her appointment.

Parliament vets Commissioner-designate Mairead McGuinness

Parliament will vote on changes in the European Commission, set its position on CO2 reduction targets and the post-2020 forests strategy. All that and much more, coming up in Brussels.

Coming up in Brussels: Commission reshuffle, climate targets and rule of law.

Climate, research, youth and health are priorities for the European Parliament in the next seven-year budget. Cutting funding to areas that will help the recovery and that invest in future generations is unacceptable for MEPs.

Long-term budget: Parliament defends EU flagship programmes

As artificial intelligence becomes part of our everyday lives, it is increasingly necessary to lay down rules to regulate it. The Parliament wants a framework which allows people to reap the benefits of AI, while minimising the risks.

Artificial intelligence: keeping humans at its heart

Parliament wants a carefully crafted roadmap to reach climate neutrality by 2050 and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by 2030 compared to 1990, 5% more than the Commission's proposal. This is the goal of the climate law.
