Міжнародний жіночий день відзначається щорічно 8 березня, щоб вшанувати досягнення жінок і привернути увагу до прав жінок. Це нагода підвищити рівень обізнаності про такі питання, як гендерна рівність, репродуктивні права, боротьба з насильством та жорстоким поводженням з жінками. Рівність між жінками і чоловіками завжди була однією з основних цінностей і цілей Європейського Союзу, але поставлена мета все ще не досягнута повністю.

The European automotive industry is striving to adapt to market changes driven by the dual green and digital transition. Electrification has become the main strategy for reducing CO2 emissions, especially in urban traffic. At the same time, the average size and weight of cars have greatly increased. Big electric cars are the trend, but are they really the solution? Could better planning and optimisation of resources help?

The European Union needs high-performing digital connectivity infrastructure to give all citizens the best access to digital services and to maintain prosperity. As the 2030s approach, the groundwork for the next frontier in mobile communications is being laid – the era of 6G. However, with the promise of unprecedented capabilities comes a host of challenges. Countries and companies that lead in 6G development and deployment are expected to gain a competitive edge in terms of technological innovation, economic growth, and influence in shaping global standards. The global race to 6G has already begun.

Eighty million people in the EU (one-sixth of the population) have disabilities ranging from mild to severe.&nbsp;These people, who are often prevented by their disability from taking part in society and the economy, have a rate of poverty 70 % higher than the EU average.
</div>

<div style="padding-top: 10px;">The European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 (EDS) constitutes a comprehensive multiannual framework for implementing the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) at EU level. The EU adopted the EDS in November 2010, shortly before the UN CRPD entered into force for the EU. The strategy’s declared aim was to empower people with disabilities, so that they can enjoy their full rights as EU citizens and participate in society on an equal basis to others, in a barrier-free Europe. The strategy is based on eight priority areas (“areas for action”): accessibility, participation, equality, employment, education and training (including access to quality education and lifelong learning), social protection, health and external action.</div>

Recent developments in Hungary have led to a serious deterioration in the rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights which is testing the EU’s ability to defend its founding values.

Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union provides a mechanism to enforce EU values. Under Article 7(1), the Council may determine that there is a clear risk of a serious breach of EU values by a Member State and is intended to prevent an actual breach by addressing specific recommendations to the Member State in question. This can be triggered by one third of Member States, by Parliament or by the Commission. The Council has to adopt a decision by a four-fifths majority after having received Parliament's consent which also requires a two-thirds majority of the votes cast and an absolute majority of MEPs.

Signed nominations accompanied by supporting evidence are then assessed in a joint meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET), the Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) and the Committee on Development (DEVE). A shortlist of three candidates is drawn up through a vote by AFET and DEVE committees, and then submitted to the Conference of Presidents for a final vote. The winner is usually announced in October, and the award ceremony takes place in November/December at plenary sitting in Strasbourg.

The impact of the announced reform of the criminal code on Slovakia’s efforts to fight corruption is debated with Commission and Council. On 6 December, the new Slovak government tabled a draft law to overhaul the country’s penal code. If approved by its parliament, the special prosecutor’s office dealing with the most serious crimes and corruption would be dismantled. The government also intends to soften penalties for corruption offences. Several investigators and police officers looking into corruption charges have already faced repercussions from the new government, such as being dismissed, suspended or sidelined from these investigations. Prime Minister Robert Fico wants the draft law to be adopted under the urgency procedure. Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová has already said she would veto the law. Critics have warned that dismantling the special prosecutor’s office could have an impact on the ongoing investigation into the murder of journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová in 2018.

Commissaire et rapporteur Nicola BEER (Renew, DE), rapporteur, Anna-Michelle ASIMAKOPOULOU (au nom de la commission INTA), Jessica POLFJÄRD (au nom de la commission ENVI), Thierry BRETON, Commissaire européen au marché intérieur, Miriam LEXMANN (au nom de la commission AFET) et Franc BOGOVIČ (au nom de la commission REGI) prononcent des déclarations liminaires et les députés européens débattent par la suite du cadre visant à garantir un approvisionnement sécurisé et durable en matières premières critiques lors d'une session plénière à Strasbourg.

Les voitures électriques, les panneaux solaires et les smartphones - tous contiennent des matières premières critiques. Elles sont cruciales pour les transitions verte et numérique de l'UE, et assurer leur approvisionnement est essentiel pour la résilience économique, le leadership technologique et l'autonomie stratégique de l'Union européenne. Depuis la guerre russe contre l'Ukraine et une politique commerciale et industrielle chinoise de plus en plus agressive, le cobalt, le lithium et d'autres matières premières sont également devenus un facteur géopolitique.

La loi sur les matières premières critiques, convenu informellement avec le Conseil en novembre, devrait rendre l'UE plus compétitive et souveraine en réduisant les formalités administratives, en favorisant l'innovation le long de toute la chaîne de valeur et en soutenant les PME. Elle vise également à stimuler la recherche et le développement de matériaux alternatifs et de méthodes d'exploitation et de production plus respectueuses de l'environnement. La législation établira des incitations économiques et un cadre commercial plus stable et sécurisé pour les projets d'exploitation minière et de recyclage, avec des procédures d'autorisation plus rapides et plus simples.

La perte de biodiversité est devenue une menace importante pour notre mode de vie.

De plus, des règles contraignantes sont nécessaires pour favoriser la biodiversité dans nos villes.
